As one of 10 bands chosen to appear at the State Fair, we presented our concert on September 1. Remember how elated we were when we received word that our band had won the Parade of Pep Bands trophy. This was presented to us at a special assembly program where we also played a short concert. Burst of Flame will be a number never forgotten by the band. Another birthday calendar drive was launched by the band this year. Again it proved successful. Something new was started when we sent our birthday greeting to every person listed on our calendar. The band is raising money for another band trip which will be taken to the Black Hills in the spring of 59. Johnson, K. Sedam, L. Larson, M. Sedam. ROW 4: J. Renner, C. Bohm, J. Bergman, D. Malmanger, N. Saunders, A. Mau, N. Veith, P. Hanson, R. Melcher, J. Ball. Marching also entered into our busy schedule. As usual, our job was to put on a half-time show for the football games. Again this year we were lead by 6 majorettes. Cold weather arrived which meant indoor rehearsals would begin. Our first job was to prepare a Christmas concert. After many hours of practice, we gave a very successful concert, which will never be forgotten by Mr. Sorensen. In appreciation for the many things Mr. Sorensen has done for the band, Roger Sorensen pre- sented him with a watch from the band members. Basketball tournament time found our band helping support the team by our music. Remember Mr. Sorensen's famous last minute orders— Full uniforms everyone. But who forgot his pants? No one but Mr. Sorensen. (Continued on page 27) 26

St. James was also host as the Sher- burn High School Band played a concert for us. Our small groups and soloists gave a local recital for the band members and some of the parents as a dress rehearsal for the district contest which was held in Amboy. St. James came out on top with 13 A ratings. Blue Earth was the host school for the annual music festival this year. Each school played 2 or 3 numbers and were criticized by a judge. Some of our band members also took part in the large massed band. J. Haugen, N. Anderson, R. Perrier, N. Dodge, M. Mil- ler. ROW 4: C. Carlson, W. Lee, T. Running, S. Wang, J. Wang, J. Luther, D. Anderson, F. Schmillen, L. Koenig, D. Roxin, J. Nelson. CAMERA SHY: A. Voss. Playing in such a large group is something they will always remember. The Centennial Train stopped in St. James on May 6. Our band marched down to meet it and presented a short concert. May 7 was the date for our annual spring concert. Remember the day the clarinets complained about being abused and overworked and Mr. Sorensen said I treat you like my own children. —Somebody in the back row piped up with What a father! Another school year has passed with many things to look forward to in the coming school year- mainly the trip to the Black Hills in 59. 27
